Um, it still says one has to be compared to nazis. Simply bringing up nazis or WW2 isn't under this. Actually comparing anything to Nazis (or Hitler) invokes it. It does not have to be a personal attack calling someone a Nazi or refering to them as Hitler. If this continues I am going to have to call Shenanigans. :)

Again, I'll refer you to the link you posted. Note it refers to posters and their ideas. Up until this point, I have assumed you do not identify yourself with terrorists. Have I been wrong? I don't think I was. I still see you as Chamberlain.
From the article you linked: "The Nazi-comparison meme, I'd decided, had gotten out of hand - in countless Usenet newsgroups, in many conferences on the Well, and on every BBS that I frequented, the labeling of posters or their ideas as "similar to the Nazis" or "Hitler-like" was a recurrent and often predictable event. It was the kind of thing that made you wonder how debates had ever occurred without having that handy rhetorical hammer"
